After the success of two “real-world” flight test programs in a de Havilland Beaver on floats and Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, Everett, Washington-based MagniX has now unveiled two “optimized-for-flight” electric propulsion units (EPUs), the magni350 and magni650. Based on thousands of ground test and flight hours, these EPUs have been engineered for real-world commercial aviation applications to further accelerate the path to certification for electric aircraft and bring the future of electric aviation closer to reality.
